Variations on a Peanut Butter Cookie Theme

The traditional Peanut butter cookie is an all-time favorite, providing us another way to eat our beloved peanut butter. This cookie is hard to replace, but if you’d like to try something a little different, here are a couple of recipes, each equally delicious.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies will certainly be of interest to those of you who try to follow a gluten-free diet. Although this recipe is flourless, these cookies are so delicious that I encourage any peanut butter cookie lover to try them. There’s an intense peanut butter flavor due to the low amount of cornmeal in the recipe. Crunchy and chewy – you just have to taste it for yourself! This particular recipe calls for Jif® Natural Peanut Butter Spread with Honey, which is delicious, but I’ve also made them with creamy and crunchy peanut butters and they too were good. I made them recently with Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread and loved them, but I’m an extra crunchy peanut butter girl.

The Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are a combination of two classics – peanut butter and oats. The combination celebrates with the chewiness of oats and the rich flavor of peanut butter. Consider adding chopped salted peanuts to take this cookie to the next level!
